Transcript: 

Greetings, everyone. On this address, we will reflect on the case of public to our charitable feelings with others that we have special fellowships with, i.e., our president's religion. We should seek ways peacefully to resolve or address those issues that are causing the end of the situation. Newman said, nothing but charity would enable you to dig well or to die well. Let me begin with a story. A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon nose of corn. The father who missed in his eye heard the noise of the wagon of attorney. Hey, critics, the father yelled. Forget your troubles, calm enough. Then I'll help you get the ruffling up.

[01:02]

That's mighty most of you for your father, but I don't think Pa would like me to. Oh, come on, the palmer insisted. Well, it's okay, the boy finally agreed and added, but Pa won't like it. After a pumpkin meal, when it starts to toast, I feel a lot fed now, because I had a twat, it's going to be real upset. Thank you, foolish, to make a splendid smile. By the way, why is he? I'm doing a weekend. There are issues in the community. There are awkward people, not those who are calling in a person's mutual aid. They're changing that country and brethren, so want to change things, and don't even want things to remain as they are, so it's dangerous to see it, such as other brethren, who will never be baptized, no matter what we do, so we might strongly think as they are. They are the easiest types of new things, trying to decide the next thing, or whether to go back to what we used to do in the past. Different views between those who feel that we are to relate to the world, that we need to modernise, but for others this means not modernisation. but secularization, bringing the world into the monastery, whichever one they see.

[02:03]

But once, they believe they came into the monastery, to leading some of the values of the world we find. They cause heroes, religious lives. And they talk to it, you can find what you want, if not the cases out there in the world. Though the only case where I can admit to your case really cry, is right here, in the monastery. They argue, if you and how I'm talking about office, our habits, our rules, our hand tables, our judicial ways of doing things, why you can't do this monastery? You can probably, something is another unhappiness to get the principle of what we say. The difficulty is, not there in the world. If there is unhappiness, people gain jobs, they gain courage, or they move away entirely. What do we do if community will be about to each other's life? We usually try to find a compromise. A secretary, a paralegal, and a partner in a big local firm are walking through a park on their way to lunch. When they find it, then see all of that. named Bobbitch, and the Gini comes out in a puddle of snow. The Gini says, I usually only want three wishes, while this teacher knew just one.

[03:07]

May 1st, May 1st, put the secretary, I want to be in the department, driving the streets without a chair in the world. She's gone. May 1st, May 1st, says the power eagle. I want to be in Hawaii, conducting on the beach, with an excellent proprietor, Tia's partners. She's gone. You're next, the Gini says to the department of the world throne. The partner says, I'm not going to do that in the office right after lunch. My point is compromise. The reality is that only compromise between two of these students trying to put in everybody and nobody's fees. Both parties go away untucky and we end up watering things down to the lowest common denominator so that even though it's caught between the two factions in the middle ground end up to moralize and might become unbearable for all because of these factions. Once we come to community, for our own way, or to mouth and serve Jesus. If we do not understand that there is a life in a life of sacrifice, that our spiritual prompt will involve the trials of awkward brethren and the pixels of our desires, no matter how we might sanitize it by saying that we are wanting the best of our community.

[04:15]

Jesus decided to not perfect. Many of our flags and dislikes have their density in our own fear, pride, and envy. Someone must say, the greatest food is into another, It's not just to share long issues, but to reveal to him his own. Someone else said, it's not what you look at as matters, it's what you see. And as a rabbi once said, last is not nice, it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. What we see, as well as any of the others, can come out often in chapel or the registry. There was an incident that happened in our former community many years ago, when a sister got close enough, put a nice sister to his office, being lonely, at her own pace, and socially ignoring or being oblivious to the pretentive. There was a nice sister who was standing in its pool in a barfella. She took her head for hold of her, and picked the picture in front of her on the edge, in the middle of her office. Apparently, everyone was so astonished that then she would be talking to all such decisions.

[05:19]

Pretend that nothing was missed, in fact, going off of his office without pause, as this must have happened. and there are pecking disputes which are back in a different day. I know of an opportunity where two of the presidents do not communicate except particularly in terms of work, from the original audience took place more than 13 years before about whether or not to open the windows. In those mosques there are presidents who believe the mosques is a fridge, and others who believe it is a greenhouse. I have watched the sister come into the room and clean the windows by just the widows, so the few secretary and not the sister comes in be unaware of a particular case, and to go straight to the open window and stop it. There is no compromise that will satisfy both opinions. In small rivalry, yet, all about any misunderstanding is between us. It is trying now to move out of the forces we have brought ourselves in, or the pitfalls we have fallen into, perhaps what people have fallen into, have jumped into, from entrenched positions. A problem was said, no one knew that and they could run in a start, but anyone did start from now.

[06:23]

and make a brand new ending. We now need to make that out. Holding on to anger, resemblance and pets only gives you head muscles, a headache, and they cause you all from pressing your teeth, and give me picking back the moisture and lightness of life. The question is, what do we do with our disabilities? You never say this thought, did they say. We will see, then, how a disturbed it is when writers talk magnificently about nothing else holds in the race but a comprehensive affection of being friendly of all mankind. What does our friends expect to talk of love? The real love of man must depend on practice. He goes further. No love must depend on practice and therefore must begin by exercising itself on our friends, by submitting to religious those contrary to our own, by failing with their infernities, By overthrowing their occasional natively by kindness, by dwelling on their excellences, God seeks to perform in our hearts that root of charity, which goes small at first, named like the mustard seed, at last, even though the shadow of the earth.

[07:33]

To stop in this way, including others before ourselves, now for our native beings, we deliver them to self-nots. If we are astray, it can back all the right parts of the spirit, giving back onto the right parts of the spiritual path can involve a change of direction. Though in the case, when our back is to all thoughts, any direction is wrong. Never reminds us how peace and joy are the cleaners of the Christian character. Blue is no Christian temper, that repentance did not will, did not last in it, that self-transition is unspectable, but is not pleaded by faith and cheerfulness. We must live in sunshine, even when it follows. We must live in our 70s. We must not shut ourselves up in our own hearts. The Christian energy, kindness, shouldn't give if the world sees not. It is the presence of the eternal competitor in which he joins. He can later set all you to know at night, and only in God's heart his own growing heart, that he wants nothing, that God is giving all things to him, and that nothing is what is that God could give him.

[08:37]

God gives to us, and we must give all ourselves for the sake of others. Give him Three men just won the lottery, and they picked the money into three equal parts, but all of their ways to give, held their money, to the church. The first man said, I'm going to draw a circle on the ground, and throw all my money up in the air. Whatever land in the circle I will keep, and the rest I will give to the church. The third man said, I will throw my money to the air. If this land heads up, I will give it to the church, and the rest I will keep to myself. The third man said, I will throw all of my money up in the air. The night that stays up in the air, I will go to the church. And the night that falls to the ground, I will choose for myself. The rules continue to appear. I've been under the hatred of the monogelity of anyone, and do nothing out of his envy. Do not write poorly, turn on Andrews, praising your enemies out of mouth for fun. If you're coming to speak to someone, wait to speak with him before the bomb goes down.

[09:38]

So we're told to be reconciled, to make how it will come down. The bad decision to the positive set to date at the end of the day, be angry but do not think, do not let the thunder drown on our anger and give no opportunity to the devil. So what will you do in practice? Do you know what you say to a traveller? I think I'm something you want to say to face, or the decision that has to lead? I'm burning with your deathly and probably really feeling. Please pray for me. More tactical tips, if you're offering your gifts at the altar, we heard that this morning, and then when you let your brother have come in against you, Leave your kids there before they were to endure. First be restful to your brother, and then count and offer your kids. Newly explains why empathy is such a Christian virtue. The first use of character is to try and enter into the minds and feelings of others. Following these characters means often be quite practical to the brotherly character in fantasy, with no attributes. The first is, finally.

[10:39]

Mark Twain, once went to the team party, whose chief project of conversation was talked about his term of life and future punishment. Twain seconded silence throughout the conversation. Finally, it was asked, why do you not say anything? I would like to hear your opinion on term of life or future punishment. Marlon, you must excuse me, Twain would buy. I am a pilot of responsibility. I have friends in good safety. Pilot. Write your tongue. Impatient's heartless temper should probably be placed amongst those comfortably heights. When tempted, find your jaw shut and secret battery. 3. If you cannot keep silence, then see. Get away from the situation. After being with his blind age all evening, the man couldn't take another minute or so. Earlier, he had typically raised a friend calling on the phone, saying that some excuse to see if something like this happened. And in research to the people in Lower Delight, put on a grin expression and said, I have some bad news.

[11:48]

My grandfather just died. Some peasants, the state replied. If you all hadn't, mine was had to. But partly trying to explain it's a way from speculation. The third suggestion is excuse. Always give the other the benefit of the doubt. Not the way to excuse things, as you were thinking to do for you. the days to specify of excusing them, for they know not what they are to be. And I've already told you about this nation of many things. Do not judge another who has walked a while in his own office, because none of us knows what an Australian has to problem with, or what they've already done has come. Excuse. Don't jump to confusion. Big John doesn't pay. One fine day, a bus ride the race to the bus carriage, goes to the bus, and goes off along the route. Enough problems for the first few stops. A few people have fun, a few have lost, and things went generally well. At the next stop parlor, a big pump of a guy got on.

[12:49]

Six feet eight, built by the wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, Big John doesn't pay, and sat down at the back. Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically neat? But he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't talking about it. The next day, they say, things happen. Big John got on again. Next show of receiving pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next, and the next. information on the bus driver. He started to lose sight of the way Vic John was taking advantage of him. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He'd wind up for 40-year horses, carassidy, two girls and all the rest of us. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong. What more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Vic John once again was on the bus driver, he said, since John's up his pay, the driver stood up, he read back at the passenger and screens, and why not? With a surprise for Connie's face, Victor replied, Victor's had a bus [...]

Of course, the original tax was just one situation. This was between the ownership of one small male to prove it was just over the door. After several years, the initial owner wanted to tell the fact that the new oven was on here to sell. So the trash owner went out, found the purchase of a dead animal, and caught it from a single male he still owns. Soon the house became invisible, and the family was called to throw the house to the owner of the male. It really is suitable to live with one small pet in our life, People return to family's washing garbage on it, making it unsafe for private habitations. The tip next means when using the mail. If we have any doubt that whether or not we have truly forgiven, we can always tell many of the following signs of true forgiveness we recognize. Close your eyes, and as you only look at this one day, then see if it's all fun, it's felt indirectly, just felt itself differently, and it makes sense at the moment. Close your eyes. Use the reclining of true forgiveness. No reminders of the events.

[15:15]

No cold shoulder. No angry pouting. No cold affection. No without favors. No elimination of routine kindness. No sudden unthoughtfulness. No disperious smiles. No fear of threats. No intimidation is one for others. Get up your eyes. The sickness involves this. To laugh is a risk of tearing a fool. To weak is a risk of tearing a sentimental. To reach out for another is to weak involvement. To express feelings is a real exposing yourself. To face more ideas will change the profile is to risk their loss. To not, is to risk not being loved in its own.

[16:19]

To live, is to risk crying. To hope, is to risk despair. To try, is to risk failure. But risk not be taken. For the greater harvest, is to risk nothing. The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing. They may avoid helping and sorrow, but they cannot learn change where love lives. Change by their attitude. They are slaves. They are called to do freedom. Only a patient in faith is free. For many of our brothers, now they have not come naturally. In the midst of competition, to deportless, to their intent, the final tool for charitable fellowship is prayer. Pray. Pray a blessing on your brother. Pray earnestly, fervently, and definitively. For we are told, finally all of you have the infinite spirit since the mouth of the Bretman has set their hearts and their hearts and their minds, who have not returned to the people who are resigning for reviling, but who are the countries the next, but who have been saying that they didn't say a saying of the next thing.

[17:23]

France was a regular visitor as a red flag, no item of being refused than our mutual hikes. Worcester's daughter's face, a couple of priests, didn't want to talk to the disabled area, and gave it to their names. So we watched the whole face very kindly, and short enough that the next force Charlie followed the speech before the next race, and Jay eventually disabled, and formed their penalty procedure. Short enough, the net force came then by two legs, and Charlie walked first to $50. The police continued the same procedure to the next new races, and Charlie walked each time. So, between races, Charlie left the track and raised the bank, and received his last savings of $20,000. The biggest race of the day was the last one. Charlie followed the police and watched Kathleen all to death. He went down to the wedding window and put his colonized savings on that force today. and Charlie went out to watch the 14th race, found the stretch they came, and if they crossed the finish line, the fourth time of 14 was based on, came in dead last. Charlie was crushed. He located the priest that called him, that he'd been watching in direct opportunities all day, and they'd always been hidden, except the last bird, or which he'd met, the life savings.

[18:29]

Charlie then asked, what happened to the last horse, which you've read? One even said pretty, like the others. That's the struggle with you, Protestants, cried the priest. You can never find the difference between a blessing and the last strike. Nothing really about wrestling, not a commentary, is actually not different from us. They just don't take view or value. In such an understanding, and they don't come to justice either, yet to sound, it was all that things to be different. They could come to the practice of community life, and to be able to love our patients, and to describe our hearts. Will you be the one who will serve me and successfully? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of story? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of story? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of story? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of knowledge? [...]

[19:30]

Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of knowledge? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of knowledge? Will you be the one in the state of knowledge to share his worth of knowledge? Will you be and just force and control others from your own confirmation with your own spirit? Will you forgive others, even though others refuse to forgive you? Care for no one cares? Not for no one knows, through others from your own emptiness? Could you rather pardon than be pardoned? Could you rather not, than be done? Understand whether they meet on the show. Can you accept input and report praise in exchange, make individuals, and if you are understanding this thing, then do if you have an expectancy, even though your own problems are coming in your heart. Will it be exactly of my will, even when it is cut to you? Then, surrender your parts, kneel to my people in pure lust. Let me invite you to a new man speaking to you in this prayer of death, a prayer for relatives, friends, and seniors.

[20:30]

Jesus, Son of Mary, We pray for all who are near and dear to us. We thank you to bring them all into the light of your truth, all the secrets in our truth, if they already know it, and the secrets in the state of grace, and the given the gift of perseverance. Lord, we pray for our fathers and our mothers, for our children, for our brothers and sisters, for our friends, for our neighbors, for our superiors and rulers, for those who wish us well, for those who wish us all, for our enemies. for our rivals, for our injuries, and for our soldiers, and not only for the living, but for the dead, who have died in the grace of God, that he may shorten their time with expiation, and have lifted into his presence the past. Amen.
